It amazes me that...

• One of my kids can wake up from a nap after a mere 15 minutes and I can still be happy to see him/her.
• Even when the kids are screaming bloody murder, they can take a nanosecond to smile and suddenly I am able to handle it.
• I can be so tired in the morning when they're trying to get up at 5:30 AM, but I can be singing the ABC's 15 minutes later over pureed bananas and cereal - and I'm happy!
• My husband gets up with the babies every single morning, changes their diapers, and brings them both into our bedroom to wake me up...they're an armful too!
• Matthew constantly wants to play with Hailey...she's not into it yet, but it's going to be great when she is.
• These two babies, who were conceived at the same time, grew in my at the same time, and were born one minute apart, are soooo different.
• Matthew will fight going to sleep until I hold his arms down for 120 seconds. Then he's OUT! I don't have to do this every time, but I'm still amazed that it works.
  
• Hailey fights the swaddle so much (she's a strong little girl), but she still needs it b/c if she's not in it, she'll rub her eyes and that will keep her awake.
• How much they love Elmo...what is it with that guy?
• They wake up happy...when they were first born, I remember wondering if that was ever going to occur. Now it does on a regular basis...it's the best!
• How much I love them.
• How much they love us.
• That it actually has gotten easier.
• That this happened for us after everything...we are very lucky!
